Switch Studios Casinos
It appears that a lot of the newer entities on the iGaming scene are somehow related to Microgaming. Switch Studios is no exception. The gaming software provider was founded less than three years ago – in 2018. It is based in Ipswich, UK, and is one of Microgaming’s partner studios. This is one of the reasons why Switch Studios remains more or less in the shadows.
The studio creates real money gambling products as well as social games. Switch Studios’ portfolio also includes blackjack and roulette. The main focus of the gaming software developer is to create customizable titles and game engines for all of the casinos using Microgaming products.
...What should you know about Switch Studios?
Each online casino is unique in theme, delivery, and geographic client base – therefore, each venue has a specific clientele not found anywhere else. Microgaming plans to work closely with operators to create bespoke games through their development partners such as Switch Studios in order to appeal to particular groups of players and offer them dynamic content not found anywhere else.
Online casinos are very different in terms of themes and clientele, meaning that the most successful product should be versatile and able to be localized successfully. Switch Studio intends to choose a different route – the studio will continue to work with operators to understand their needs and create the most suitable products for them. This is a curious business model but it allows the studio to deliver quality content that other casinos might not be able to offer at all.
Which are the most popular Switch Studios titles?
Some of the Switch Studios titles created for Microgaming include:
- European Blackjack: This is a game designed exclusively for Microgaming. European Blackjack requires a couple of decks of standard playing cards. The decks are shuffled prior to each game. The split feature is available on a couple of cards bearing identical denominations. The double-down feature is available as well. In European Blackjack, the main objective is to have a better hand than the dealer but lower than 21. You can also beat his hand in case it goes bust.
- American Roulette: Following European Roulette, American Roulette is yet another successful Switch Studios product. It features realistic graphics and a 3D roulette wheel that would impress every single player. The pocket numbers on the wheel are standard but the title offers some special features such as Favorite bets, Special bets, and Racetrack bets. The game is built to be enjoyed via a mobile device and it includes both portrait and landscape mode.
